Boise (670 KBOI) – An ISP trooper responding to a call for backup was cited, after he crashed into the back of a semi trailer at Gowen Road and I-84 Thursday.
According to the Idaho Statesman, the trooper, who has not been named, was headed westbound on I-84, and slowed down as he drove down the off-ramp. He hit the trailer as he was turning left onto Gowen Road.
